Congratulations to Stephanie who successfully defended her Master’s thesis today in the Department of Biochemistry at the University of Saskatchewan. Stephanie joined the Loewen lab in September of 2006, had a beautiful baby boy in 2008, and as of July 2011, is the first student to successfully defend a thesis out of the Loewen Lab. She is glad to be done, currently making a few minor edits to her thesis and otherwise looking forward to not being a graduate student anymore. We wish Stephanie all the best in her future career endeavors.
